CHICAGO, June T.-Dr. McGlynn yesterday
addressed the Land and Labor Club OF this
city in a conversational sort OF way for
about two hours. He referred to the recent
campaign Of Henry George in New York,
which, he said, was generally regarded as
nominal defeat, but which ought TO DO con-
sidered modern victory When ", OOO votes
could be polled In metropolis like New
York for candidate who represented an Idea
It must DO admitted that the people were
alive to their interests and that Henry
Georgeism meant something more than an
empty name. The campaign In New YORK,
DR., McGlynn said, had been carried on
without OF ganization and against twoSold
political parties "a we'll organized rs armies
In the field. Two weeks after the election,
however, the party had been placed In n
thoroughly organized condition, and to-day
the land and labor party was us we'll
prepared for hatile as were the old poiiti'
cal parties. He said the design was
to nominate full stnte, county and muniei'
pal ticket next time and with lighting
chance of e'ecting their men. In Brooklyn
aud New York there wonld be over lOO, OOt
votes pnlled for the Land and Labor party
at the next election, and II the candidates
were not elected they would give the poll
tieians pretty strong fight.
The new progressive party would not SOL
| here but In 1888 would have candidate
| for president in the field who would develop
| an amount OF strength that would surpris'
| the country. He would not say who tina
| candidate would be, but he would be u mai
thoroughly in earnest in the great cause

hAVRNs
NIAGARA FAILS, June 2s.-Ste. Peer, To-
cal celebrity, who outdid Blondin In daring
feats around Niagara, and recently crossed
on a live-eiIhths-ineh cable, Is dead. Ever
since he did his last daring act he has been
drinking heavily, and William Leary, pro-
prietor Of the Elgin House, has been watch
ing him closely.
Last evening Peer went out unobservsd
with John Gillespie and stranger, and
later was seen In the same company near
his rope. AS he did not turn up by $50 and
no truce OF him could be discovered else
where, Il was concluded that he must have
got on his rope and fallen from 1t, or
tumbled over the bank, Ropes and Ian
terms were procured and PEERS brother,
with John Connolly, were lowered down,
and near the bottom of the incline they
found his lifeless body. The body was
badly cut, and death must have been In
Simultaneous.
His body was raised to the top OF the
precipiee by means OF ropes and taken to
tho Elgin House. A good many rumors are
afioat regarding the manner of his death
Among them Is one that he committed sui
eide, there being, It Is said, some trouble
existing between himself and wife; but the
general belief Is that he attempted 10 walk
ont on the cable when recovering from hil
spree, lost his footing, and fell into the
| abyss.

The agricultural departments June re-
port on the acreage and condition of
growing crops, &c., summarizes the peach
news of the United States up to the be-
ginning of the month thus;
Peaehes seem to have suffered less than
npples from the unfavorable season, CON
dltion In somesections being reported much
higher than usual In New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Delaware the average is high,
hut before the crop can be reliably pre-
dicted the time for the June drop must be
passei. The same conditions which so
seriously affected apples IN the south At
lantic and gulf states have wrought oven
greater damage TO peaches, the averages
ranging from 81 In Virginia to 40 In Ala
bama. In portions OF Georgia early peaches
are ripe, the crop being small and affected
| with rot. From Kentucky, north and west
| the prospect Is better, though In many sec
| lions the number OF bearing trees has been
very much diminished during the past few
| years. Returns from Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois are variable, some correspondents
speaking OF the crop as almost or quite
failure, while other counties expect proha
bly, the best crop In 20 years.
In the tabulated statements the per
centages assigned to Delaware crops OF
